There was a discussion about what the clearest term for a monospaced
font was, but I don't recall any suggestion at that time that it would
actually interact with the terminal preferences (if indeed it actually
does, but that's the impression I got from Glynn's ui-review log).  I
should dig out the archives and have a look, I guess  :)
